Chiropractic Care
Correcting the Spine
A misaligned spine can occur from physical, chemical, and emotional stresses, and can cause symptoms such as aches and pains, dizziness, headaches, brain fog, poor posture, a weakened immune system, and disease. Prolonged misalignment can damage the spinal cord and the spinal nerves which exit the spine, affecting virtually every system of the body.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
– Thomas A. Edison

Meet Our Chiropractor
Dr. Charney Slater, DC
Dr. Charney Slater became a chiropractor after experiencing a severe autoimmune disorder of the thyroid known as Grave’s Disease. At that time, he had a racing heartbeat, a swollen neck, fatigue, and extreme digestive distress. He lost 25 pounds in 10 days. His medical doctor sent him to a chiropractor, and he noticed that the swelling in his neck would decrease after each treatment. He also felt much more calm. When he experienced his recovery after chiropractic treatment and nutritional intervention, he was motivated to learn more about his own health issues, and he decided to go to chiropractic school.
“What sets me apart is the very gentle but detailed approach that I take with each patient. I do NOT do any cracking, pushing, or pulling. I identify areas of misalignment causing nerve interference (termed subluxation) in the spine and other areas using muscle testing. Muscle testing allows me to go beyond what appears to be the surface problem. Through muscle testing, I am able to get to a deeper understanding of complex patterns. My specific treatment is multifaceted–I never treat the same area repeatedly–I look for the multiple areas of causation, and bring in whatever technique is required. I am a lifelong learner–since graduating from chiropractic school over 37 years ago, I am always integrating new research and techniques that I am studying. I have a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition and I am a licensed acupuncturist in New York State.”
